USS Chester W. Nimitz

USS Chester W. Nimitz was a US Navy aircraft carrier built in 1949 by the United States during the Cold War. It was dispatched to the Baltic Sea to intimidate the Soviet Navy during the Baltics Game, and its two aircraft squadrons came under Soviet Air Force fire during the Palanga incident during the Cold War. Eventually, the carrier returned to the USA as President Harry Truman decided to demilitarize the Baltics.
